This economy has really got a lot of people moving and not always by a choice they wanted to make. My wife and I now find ourselves among those unfortunates feeling that 1 .
At the end of last year, our customers just 2 . We had to make the painful decision to 3 our office and put our house up for 4 . We haven’t lived in it for two years yet and expected it would be the 5 one for a long time. How 6 this world economic mess is changing our lives!
As I get older, I find moving less adventurous and more 7 . This time, we’re in the process of moving without knowing where we’ll 8 next. Job searching has been thrown into the quagmire(困境) of an unsettled life. Both my wife and I had been feeling pretty 9 from all this. I’ve been challenged to find the positive in all this down that’s 10 us.
But then it happened while I watched my wife 11 things up. She’s an absolute whiz(能手) when it comes to packing. I took delight in watching her 12 just the right boxes for 13 in front of her and filling in the 14 with pillows and towels. I began feeling something like a wind lift me up and sail me through my own 15 of the packing and loading.
Some friends will be helping us with the 16 . I’ve told them that they’re not 17 friends but gaining some new vacation spots.
I have 18 that we’ll get through this transition finally. We all will always have work to do, by choice or 19 , and we can also consciously make the effort to create a sense of 20 in a new place.

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to 36 in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don’t act in the 37 ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too 38 for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of 39 .
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you. Is there 40 between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. She didn’t answer immediately. She 41 her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had 42 her. I was 43 and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread．Sometimes it 44 , but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt 45 . If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread．It can hardly be seen 46 , but it’s really there. Love is 47 .”
I listened carefully but I 48 her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly 49 seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked 50 . It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father 51 on the country road．
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t 52 me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.” 53 his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and 54 . But from this experience, I understand that love is just 55 in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

Never before had I imagined I should have the opportunity to live with so many girls．Would they 36 such a single “Hi” from me? I was about to greet my new roommates， 37 they did not seem to have the same 38 attention that I had．They just dealt with their own 39 ， sorting out their clothes，and making arrangements for their university life．Thus tranquility（宁静）
became the 40 atmosphere in the dormitory．
To my surprise， 41 such a situation，I did not feel a sense of 42 ．With time going on，we got to know each other deeper．I was 43 to find that in deep soul we all had great dreams and belonged to the same 44 ．

One day，when I was leaving the teachers’ office，it was in complete silence and frightening 50 ．At my dormitory gate，I was startled （使惊奇）to find there still 51 a little light glimmering in the darkness，so faint but yet so clear．Just under the 52 of the light，I went to the room without any difficulty．They were in sound sleep，leaving the 53 light on in the calm world．Tears rolled down my cheeks．
I know 54 that we all like tranquility，both in environment and in our mind．It is the care that 55 all the misunderstandings and unpleasantness．

James sat outside the office waiting for the interview. He felt so 36 that he didn’t know what to do with himself. The person who had gone in 37 him had been in there for nearly an hour. And she looked so confident when she went in, not like James. He felt 38 that she had already got the job. The problem was that he wanted his job so much. It meant everything to him. He had 39 it such a lot before the day of the interview. He had imagined himself 40 brilliantly（出色地）at the interview and being offered the job immediately. But now here he was feeling 41 . He couldn’t remember all those things he 42 to say. At that moment, he almost decided to get up and leave. But no – he had to do this. He had spent so much time considering it that he couldn’t 43 like that. His hands were hot and sticky and his mouth felt dry. At last the door of the office opened. The woman who had gone in an hour earlier came out looking very 44 with herself. She smiled sympathetically （同情地）at James. At the moment, James 45 her. The managing director then appeared at the office door. “would you like to come in now, Mr. Davis? I’m sorry to have kept you 46 .” James suddenly wished that he had gone home after all. He got up, legs 47 and forehead sweating and wondered he looked as terrified as he felt.
